Migrating from VisualAge for Java to Eclipse

Currently, we are using IBM VisualAge for Java to program Swing classes for our legacy system. We plan on migrating to Eclipse, but I cannot find a simple way how to. Is there any tool to migrate the VisualAge Java classes repository (.dat file) and visual composition of Swing classes to Eclipse?

Eclipse includes the WindowBuilder tool that is pretty good at reading existing UI code and providing a nice "visual" edit mode for it. The latest Eclipse IDE for Java Developers package includes WindowBuilder; it can also be installed into any of the other packages via Help > Install New Software.

You can learn all about WindowBuilder at http://www.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/
